Thank you! The Navy Rolls are terrific- rich, full, dark sweetness with plenty of delicious perique. I recently finished off a tin of ‘08 Escudo and its interesting to compare the two.

Thank you! The Navy Rolls are terrific- rich, full, dark sweetness with plenty of delicious perique. I recently finished off a tin of ‘08 Escudo and its interesting to compare the two.
Was such a good mix, I’m doing it again tonight. 50:50 Five Brothers and fully rubbed Lancer slices in a Bones pokano.
Had a conniption and the Ceppo went flying, dumping the last quarter of the bowl on the rug. Luckily no damage to the pipe or rug. Loaded some more Levant Mixture into a Winslow Crown 200.
Ending the evening with a little "dessert". Smoking some C&D Apricots & Cream in a Savinelli Roma 320.
Part way through this bowl of Watch City VaBur Test Sample in a 2019 straight smooth brown Merchant Service “Bing” with a nickel band and black vulcanite tapered stem. Watching Murder She Saw.
Watch City Slices in a Moretti .25 bent billiard.
Too cold out tonight so I only packed a half bowl of Cornell & Diehl Black Frigate in my Brigham four dot Sportsman.
Now smoking Watch City Old Dominion in a 1978 smooth full bend Lorenzo Adria Standard 733 flame grain egg with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Just finished a bowl of Le Petit Robin (pure semois Fina shag) by Tabac Manil in a MM cob. This is a great smoke in a pipe or rolled in a cig. Has a distinct earthy, tangy flavor and is very smooth with a decent throat hit. I smoked it in its super dry form out of the package but I will rehydrate it a bit to see the difference.
Now smoking Sutliff Prince Albert Match in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Now smoking Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Phone chatting with the fella who gave me the pipe.
Hal o' The Wynd in a Barling Regency EXEL 5639 bent billiard.
Now smoking D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Watching a documentary on Tesla.
MacBaren HH Burley Flake in a Rusticated Savinelli Roma Lucite Bent bulldog 673ks.
G'day folks, Ruby cherry in a ten dollar Chinese Ebony pipe, coffee. Rain & 4°C on Election Day.
C&D Kajun Kake in a cavalier figural meer by Medet, with coffee and the morning paper.
About to fire up some Lane RR in a Country Gent.
